Meditation (Still Sitting) Generates Yang

Suitable for:

People who are restless, suffer from insomnia and vivid dreams, have high mental energy consumption, or overthink.

Benefits:

By adjusting the body, breath, and mind, it concentrates dissipated consciousness, reduces energy expenditure, and achieves the effect of "extreme stillness generating Yang," improving sleep and mood.

Practice Time:

Anytime during the day or before sleep (before 11 PM). Traditionally, the four time periods—Zi, Wu, Mao, and You—correspond to the yin and yang transition of heaven and earth, and are the most suitable times.

Posture and Focus Core:

Seated posture: Comfort first! Sitting cross-legged, in a lotus position, or on a chair are all acceptable (do not force a double lotus which can hurt the knees).
Keep the back naturally straight, possibly place a small cushion under the hips for support.
Avoid drafts, air conditioning, and excessive airflow; cover with a blanket to keep warm.

Breath and Mind Regulation: Focus attention on the breath, using nasal inhalation and exhalation, as deep, long, and slow as possible. Gently bring the mind back when it drifts away.

Sensations: After practice, you will quickly feel warmth in your back, hands, and feet, and may even sweat slightly (this is a sign of Yang energy flowing freely).
